Vadis is an athletic working and family dog, hugely loyal, affectionate and gentle, and a proven sire.
BVA tests: hip 3/3; elbow 0; eye test clear annually since 2005.
DNA tests: Optigen PRA clear; Laboklin EIC, CNM and narcolepsy clear. All certificates can be seen.
He is yellow and does not carry chocolate: BBee
His home-bred daughter Highhouse Glendullan has BVA scores hip 0/0; elbow 0; eyes clear as well as our usual list of DNA clear results, the same as Vadis himself.
His daughter Junipescar Adhara competed at Crufts 2013 in the ABC Agility Final (ABC means Anything But a Collie). She just missed touching the white contact on the A frame, and finished 3rd overall. If she'd touched, she could have won as her time was the fastest. We are immensely proud of her and her handler Alan Smith. They were both complete novices at agility at the outset. What an achievement!
Vadis is the sire of working gundogs.
He has now retired from stud work, having done his bit for our programme.
